Wait Lyrics
[Verse 1: Adam Levine]
Dirty looks from your mother
Never seen you in a dress that color, no
It's a special occasion
Not invited, but I'm glad I made it, oh
[Pre-Chorus: Adam Levine]
Let me apologize
I'll make up, make up, make up
Make up for all those times (All those times)
Your love, I don't wanna lose
I'm begging, begging, begging, begging
I'm begging you
[Chorus: Adam Levine]
Wait, can you turn around
Can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out
Can we work this out?
Just wait, can you come here please?
'Cause I wanna be with you
Wait, can you turn around
Can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out
Can we work this out?
Just wait, could you come here please?
'Cause I wanna be with you
[Verse 2: Adam Levine]
Can we talk for a moment?
Got these feelings that
I'm tired of holding on
Wasn't tryna get wasted
I needed more than three
Or four to say this, oh
[Pre-Chorus: Adam Levine]
Let me apologize, yeah
I'll make up, make up, make up
Make up for all those times (All those times)
Your love, I don't wanna lose (Lose)
I'm begging, begging, begging, begging
I'm begging you
[Chorus: Adam Levine]
Wait, can you turn around
Can you turn around? (No)
Just wait, can we work this out
Can we work this out? (Just wait)
Just wait, can you come here please?
'Cause I wanna be with you
Wait, can you turn around
Can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out
Can we work this out? (Just wait)
Just wait, could you come here please? (Yeah)
'Cause I wanna be with you
[Bridge: Adam Levine]
You say I'm just another bad guy
You say I've done a lot of things I can't undo
Before you tell me for the last time, yeah
I'm begging, begging, begging, begging
Begging you
[Chorus: Adam Levine]
Wait, can you turn around
Can you turn around?
Just wait, can we work this out
Can we work this out?
(Can we work this out)
Just wait, can you come here please?
'Cause I wanna be with you
(I wanna be with you)
Wait, can you turn around
Can you turn around?(Yea)
Just wait, can we work this out
Can we work this out?
Just wait, could you come here please?
'Cause I wanna be with you
